Hi all, I am having a similar problem with a related package--xyling (it relies on xypic, just has some extra macros for linguistic trees).
OS 10.6.8
LyX 2.1.2
File attached. When I hit ps2pdf to preview, the file just does not
appear, although LyX thinks it's successfully made a PDF. I can create
a pdf from a minimal file using Postscript, but something is wrong
with the PS2PDF script. Unfortunately, I cannot generate a PDF from my
more complex file using Postscript--that one also reports successful
file creation, but not PS or PDF appears.
Oh, and there is no cx folder in /var/folders on my system.
XeTeX and LuaTeX both have command definition conflicts for xyling,
but I've had problems generating PDFs with the simplest files using
these methods since about 2.1 (both return an error about the \sups
command being already defined). Not using \sups in the test file, as
you can see.
